Hi Guys,

Now that SKOAR had offered 2 DVDs with it,the time has finally come for me to get a DVD Drive[Dont ask me how i lived all these days without one....all my my Digit DVDs lie untouched....hell :oops: ]

OK,so I'd like to buy a DVD Drive[no combos or Writers...just a plain DVD Reader]....so,based on your experience,which is the best brand ?

NOTE: I'd like to buy a DVD Drive that SUPPORTS DVD-REGION DEPROTECTING SOFTWARE[like DVD Region Free etc].....cause i dont want to have problems with reading imported DVD movies 8) ...alos,I'd like to be able to read the PS2 DVDs on it[the emu might be eady in 2 or 3 years :D ...so,I'd want a PS2 ready DVD Drive..hehe..]

Waiting for some suggestions :D

i have SONY DVD rom quite happy with it
and about your region code problem, almost all dvd players/roms can be unlocked, if they r region locked.

:evil: Stay off from Samsung (and Toshiba) - all of their products, as they are cheat :!:

I have proof, and I will post my experience soon here for all of you :!:

:) My personal Favs r LiteOn or BenQ (nee Acer). Easy on the pocket but works like charm. Also, if u can affrd, get a writer instead of ROM drive as prices have fallen considerably... :wink:
